Leaky air bleeds ktm 450

Tjpiattelli
Hey guys,

Just sent my suspension out to a hack in western Canada for a revalve and he shipped my shit back with the air bleeds loose and it leaked all my oil out. The suspension guy told me to add 150ml but do I just turn the dork upside down to drain the oil and then can I just use a syringe to re add the 150mls through the air bleeds?

Didn't this just happen to someone else? I feel like I read something exactly like this?

It will take way to long to add 150 through the air bleeds I think.

Yeah it was me but I haven't been able to work on it until now and I can't find my original thread. Sorry for the double post.

Unscrew the fork caps, dump the remaining oil and then add new oil before screwing them back on. That way it doesn't take forever through the bleed hole.
